This [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software is the {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} software package that runs this [[WikiIndex]] wiki site. Originally designed for [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] (though <u>not</u> the original Wikipedia wiki engine – that was the [[:Category:Perl|Perl]]-based [[:Category:UseModWiki|UseModWiki]]); MediaWiki is now one of the most active and [[WikisWithTheMostPages|largest wikis]], it is also used extensively by other {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} projects; along with many, many other independent [[:Category:Wiki|wikis]]. | |||
'''MediaWiki''', written in {{tag|PHP}}, is probably the most widely deployed wiki engine {{tag|software}}. Some would argue that a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] should be more simplistic, with fewer features; but MediaWikis' design avoids many of the clutter/feature–creep problems which can appear in other mature wiki engines, and its success speaks for itself. MediaWiki has spawned many clones, the most notable being [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]. MediaWiki is a highly developed, feature-rich software that is released for {{tag|free software|free}} under version 2 of the {{tag|GNU General Public License}} (GNU GPL v2), and requires either [[:Category:MySQL|MySQL 5.0.2+]], [[:Category:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]], or [[:Category:SQLite|SQLite]] for datastorage, | '''MediaWiki''', written in {{tag|PHP}}, is probably the most widely deployed wiki engine {{tag|software}}.
